Chapter 633: As long as I am alive, everything is possible (more)
Zhuo Rong looked at his fingers, but the feeling just now was different.
He could feel that the movement just now was not made by the shadow puppet itself.
Instead, he pulled the string, causing the shadow puppet to move strangely.
He seemed to have found some feeling.
However, this feeling was not enough for him to get the hang of it quickly.
Zhuo Rong looked at the dark environment and felt that he could not go any further. Who knew what was down there?
So he turned around and started walking up.
But the further you go, the stranger the stairwell becomes.
Strange things began to appear in the stairwell.
For example, the bones piled in the corner.
Bleeding walls.
Red spider web.
A ghost hand suddenly grabbed.
Eyes revealed in the stairwell.
Blood pouring down the stairs.
A dark shadow that keeps wandering.
A child squatting in the corner counting bugs.
Sometimes, going up one floor is normal, and sometimes strange things will appear.
These things appear with no pattern.
However, Zhuo Rong always felt that these things should follow some pattern, but he just hadn't thought of it.
Zhuo Rong stopped, he didn't dare to move.
Because the further he walked, the more anomalies he encountered, and the more dangerous it became. So far, even with the protection of the shadow puppet, he accidentally triggered the instant death rule and died three times.
Moreover, he could feel that if he still couldn't figure out the rules of this stairwell, he would probably be trapped here and die before he could master the strange domain.
Zhuo Rong took out some water and dry food from his backpack and ate a quick meal.
This was his fifth meal in the stairwell.
Here, his physical strength was consumed extremely quickly and he became hungry very quickly.
He has already sent the shadow puppet back.
He kept releasing weirdness, and what he consumed was his weird energy.
Fortunately, the stairs he stopped on were normal.
And he staying here won't trigger any rules.
only.
Zhuo Rong looked at the food in his backpack with a headache.
The food he brought was enough to last him a week, but he brought less water.
Now he only has a bottle of water left.
However, he didn't know how long he would have to stay in these stairs. It seemed that even after drinking this bottle of water, he still wouldn't be able to find a way out.
He would be trapped in a terrible cycle of dying of thirst, resurrection, dying of thirst, and resurrection.
When he dies too many times and becomes too desperate, won't he take the initiative to destroy the time-reversal device and face true death?
Zhuo Rong knew that there was something wrong with his mood and he was thinking about pessimistic things.
But he still couldn't stop, and the more he thought about it, the more negative it became.
The shadow puppet sensed his emotions.
Seems to want to come out.
"I'm fine. Let me think about how to get out of here."
"Stairs. Some stairs have anomalies, some don't. And whether you're going up or down, you'll encounter anomalies... No, when I was going down earlier, the surroundings were getting darker and darker, but I didn't encounter anything unusual."
"The anomaly occurred when I was walking up the stairs."
"According to normal thinking, those anomalies were actually intended to prevent me from going up the stairs."
Zhuo Rong suddenly remembered a similar find-the-difference anomaly game he had seen online.
Whenever he encountered an abnormal situation, he needed to go back downstairs, and if he encountered a normal floor, he would continue to go upstairs.
Zhuo Rong cheered up and tried again.
There was nothing unusual in the stairwell on this floor, so he went upstairs.
After going up, I found that the walls of this floor were covered with spiders.
Zhuo Rong returned to the next floor.
When he went up again, the stairs returned to normal.
"I think I guessed right?"
Zhuo Rong began to climb the stairs.
In this way, whenever he encountered something unusual, he would retreat and climb again.
Gradually, the surrounding environment became brighter and brighter, and the lights that had been off also lit up.
Abnormalities are occurring less and less.
A dazzling exit appeared right before his eyes.
Very good!
Zhuo Rong rushed out.
The noisy sound of cars starting outside came into his ears again.
Zhuo Rong stood at the staircase exit on the first floor.
He walked out with mixed feelings.
Then I saw Ji Wu who had been waiting there.
Ji Wu had been paying attention to the time and turned around immediately when he heard footsteps.
"How's it going? Is the mission accomplished?"
Noticing that Zhuo Rong's expression was not right, Ji Wu frowned and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Zhuo Rong was a little embarrassed: "The containment failed."
"Don't be discouraged. It's normal for newcomers to fail to be accepted. As long as you're still alive, anything is possible."
Then, Ji Wu asked him what strange thing he had encountered.
After Zhuo Rong finished speaking.
Ji Wu was silent for a while.
The stairwell feels like an overall architectural anomaly.
For example, the previous mental hospital, the entire mental hospital was abnormal.
The types of buildings are strange, and most of them have the ability to block.
If you don't have the strength to break the situation by force, then the better way is to destroy it from the outside rather than entering.
Of course, if you are strong enough and can easily break through both inside and outside, then you don’t have to worry about whether the buildings are weird or not.
Zhuo Rong: "At first I thought I would be trapped inside forever. After all, I had finished all the water I brought with me and had eaten most of the food."
Ji Wu heard this and said, "Don't the logistics personnel provide backpacks for Qigui Masters when they go on missions? The food and water in them can normally last for a week."
Could it be that the logistics staff made a mistake this time?
Wait, Ji Wu suddenly remembered that he was a logistics staff member.
Zhuo Rong scratched his head. "I prepared the backpack this time. The logistics staff at headquarters offered to help me, but I saw they were too busy, so I declined."
"I brought enough food, but not enough water. I originally thought that if I couldn't contain the monster in three days, then the logistics personnel outside would be able to notice my situation and send people to support me in time..."
As he spoke, he felt something was wrong.
Why did he stay in there for so long? It was obviously abnormal, but Ji Wu, who was guarding outside, didn't react at all, let alone call for support.
Ji Wuyi slapped his forehead.
"Next time you should form a team. Some weird things will blur the time in the weird domain."
"The speed of time in the strange domain is inconsistent with that in the outside world. Sometimes, a few minutes pass outside, but several days pass inside. Sometimes, several days pass outside, but only a few minutes pass inside."
"It could be anything."
Ji Wu checked his watch: "From the time you entered the stairwell to the time you emerged, only twenty minutes had passed."
Twenty minutes is the normal containment time. Ji Wu will not realize that something is wrong unless half an hour or an hour has passed.
But at that time, how long did Zhuo Rong spend in the strange domain?
